VEOLIA
The company’ s strategic evolution reflects a fundamental shift in how businesses approach environmental responsibility. Rather than viewing ecological concerns as regulatory obligations, Veolia has positioned sustainability as the cornerstone of its business model, recognising that ecological transformation means acting to reconcile human progress with environmental protection.
Sophisticated supply chain operations Veolia’ s supply chain operations are orchestrated through a sophisticated framework that encompasses regional supply chain management and national category management.
The Supply Chain Team bears responsibility for sourcing goods and services while managing associated supply chain risks across critical categories, including: Operating Equipment & Supplies; Subcontracting; Mobile & Motorised Equipment; Energy & Chemicals; General Purchasing; Intellectual Services; and IT & Telecommunications.
The company’ s Supply Chain Shared Services Team facilitates transactional processes, including vendor setup and maintenance, ensuring seamless integration across its global operations. This structured approach enables Veolia to maintain operational efficiency whilst adhering to its stringent sustainability standards.
Central to Veolia’ s strategic priorities are the four pillars of ecological transformation:
• Improving biodiversity
• Decreasing pollution
• Fighting climate change
• Optimising resources
These form the foundation upon which the company builds its comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship, recognising that transformative action cannot be delayed.
